Technology is defined as “purposeful intervention by design”, and technological practice as the activity through which technological outcomes are created and have impact in the world.

LEARN: To work together as a team to create a technological outcome.

SC: Create something new that improves life for humans as a team; each team member needs to be included and share ideas.

Activity: Create a new flavour of popcorn, and design a suitable package to keep it in.

Design brief:

Create a new exciting flavour of popcorn and suitable packaging for our class movie afternoon. The packaging must look good and be easy to access. The popcorn needs to be crisp (not soggy) and delicious!

Important: the flavour of your group’s popcorn must take into account the things that certain members of your team cannot eat.

Stage 1: Planning for practice: This is where you plan what you need and what you intend to do. It is important to make sure you read the design brief to make sure that your ideas will create an outcome that meets the brief.

Stage 2: Brief development: This is where you create your new flavour - I think you will need to try things, test things, taste things, and change things before you come out with an outcome that fits the design brief. You will also need to try to develop your packaging and test it to make sure it holds the popcorn and is easy to get the popcorn out of.

Stage 3: Outcome development and evaluation: This is where you have other people (stakeholders) try your product and then you all evaluate to see if it meets the design brief - is it fit for purpose?
